With the help of Dr. Ayako Nishikawa whom he met during his encounter with Dr. White, Black Jack is offered a lift to England by riding in the Sky Hospital owned by Dr. White, a military aircraft converted into a fully functioning airborne clinic. During the flight, a group of militants hijack the plane, planning to turn it back into a fighting craft to help their own people in Taranistan. The passengers and crew of the plane resist the terrorists, but one of the militants detonates a stun grenade in the cockpit, injuring the pilots and himself with shrapnel. Jack operates to save the lives of the injured under almost impossible conditions while Dr. White struggles to control the damaged Sky Hospital as it runs low on fuel. With the assistance of a semi-recovered pilot, Dr. White safely lands the plane in a desert. Jack and Pinoko continue their journey on foot. (Source: Wikipedia)
